"Start Time" errors in Subtitle Edit, and "End Time" correct

[Frank_VH]

Hello,

I used "Audio to text" function in Subtitle Edit and the recognition of the words was perfect, but... I have a big timing problem in the column of "Start Time".

Each Start Time is brought forward.
I'll explain:

for example, if the first 20 seconds of video have no dialogue, the first words spoken are not marked at the 20th second, but at time 0.

Start Time 0:00 and End time 0:23.

So, the End Time is right but the Start Time is wrong.

And so also in the rest of the video.

If the next dialogue starts at 0:40 and ends at 0:43, this time too I have: Start Time 0:24 instead of 0:40 and End Time right again, 0:43.
As you can see it doesn't start in the right moment (0:40) but soon after the previous End Time (that was 0:23).

Can you please tell me which option I need to change within Subtitle Edit to avoid running into this problem?

Thanks very much in advance!

Switch engine to Faster-Whisper.

Thank you,
I tried Faster-Whisper but the recognition gives error: "No text found".

Try to use smaller models, most likely you don't have enough VRAM.

Try to use smaller models, most likely you don't have enough VRAM.

What do you recommend? Nvidia GPU , 8GB + ?
What about AMD GPU?

[VoodooFX]

You can use CPU with "--device=cpu" command.

8GB is enough for large model.
AMD doesn't have support for CUDA.

The Start Time error was using a big model of 2.88 Gb.

The No Text error was using a little model Tiny of only 74 Mb (the only available in Fast-Whisper)

The Start Time error was using a big model of 2.88 Gb.

With what engine? And what Subtitle Edit version?

[Frank_VH]

Subtitle Edit version 4.02

Model: Large-q5_0 (2.88 Gb) with Engine: CSS
Model: tiny.en (74 MB) with Engine: Purfview's Faster-Whisper

[VoodooFX]

Subtitle Edit version 4.02

Update to the latest -> 4.0.4

[Frank_VH]

installing the latest version, the situation even worsened. Now anyway it always tells me: text not found

[VoodooFX]

How it worsened?
Did you see popup to download "cuBLAS and cuDNN"?

Try adding "--device=cpu" command to advanced field.
